The GC is being quite the bait when it comes to luring Japanese Devs.

Sony's PS2 might be the dominant platform in Japan, but developers aren't shunning the Cube. Bloomberg has just updated with a story with some choice quotes from companies and retailers. Here's a few:

``It's best when two or three console makers co-exist,'' said Keiji Tanaka, a managing director at Namco Ltd., the company behind Pac-Man. ``GameCube and (Microsoft's) Xbox can compete against PlayStation 2 and expand the video-game market.'

``We received many orders for video-game software for the newly launched console,'' said Jiro Sakaguchi, director of Tose Co., a Kyoto-based maker of versions of popular game software for other companies. As a result ``earnings for the fiscal year to August may exceed our initial forecast.''

``The Nintendo Gamecube is more developer-friendly than the PlayStation 2,'' said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Co., developer of the `Final Fantasy' series of PlayStation games.
